Hey guys, took a little break from beyond ever since the meets stopped happening at chinook. since that time i sold my R32, for a few reasons. little rough on gas, it wasn't manual, and i found that there wasn't a whole lot i could do to get power with out doing a 10k turbo build. So i sold it and bought a 2008 audi a4, 2.0T Manual, Sline.

Some pics of my old R32:

And Of my new a4. Began with coils,

then found some Privat Kups For winter wheels.

did some other little things here and there, then the snow came and i had some fun with vinyl. I'm sure some of you guys have seen it around town. Let me know what you guys think

Looks sick man!

Thought about doing a similar camo scheme on my B5 S4 for fun, but with a little brown. 2.0T engine is great, have fun with it!

I was thinking something like this for mine;

As a recent Audi VW convert. ..I gotta say nicest looking A4 in the city.

sorry guys, I've been off the forum for a little bit here. Thanks for the kind words, yeah i did the wrap myself with a few buddies. as for suspension I'm on FK silver line x Plus.

Vinyl has been holding up much better than i thought it was, a few pieces here and there were lifting, or getting chipped up due to rocks, but for the most part its been great. I replaced a few pieces that were getting chipped up, as well as did the whole hood white.

As a pretty conservative exterior car guy, I'm surprised but I absolutely love that vinyl job.

How' s the ride on the FK's? I always thought of them as a very low end coilover.

And was the gas in the R32 that bad? :burnout:

i find the brand is mostly associated with the lower end, or a budget coilover. I have had two sets of fk coils, my first set was for my mk4 golf; fk streetlines. I believe they were a budget/low end coilover. but did the job i wanted, that being going low. they rode decent for how how much they cost, and never broke on me. i think they cost me 500$ back in the day.

I got the silver line x plus' on sale at a shop in calgary for $700 regular priced $1400. I wasn't expecting them to be that good, because my assumption was that they were a pretty meh coilover. But these coils ride amazing, close to oem comfort, they seem to handle well, although my dampening is set to 0 right now, so i will be looking at tightening it up soon. The silverlines use koni struts so they are very good quality. i really enjoy these coils. i will look at buying silverlines again for the next car if i don't go bags.



As for the r32, i would rarely get more than 350-400km to a 52l tank. so it was pretty bad. I'm now getting 600-700km to a (i think 62l tank?) so its a bit better. looking back now, i really wish i didn't sell that car, i really regret it and i do miss it a lot. depending on how money is in the summer, i will definitely be considering at getting another one.

bumping this up from the dead... :goflames:

Had a fun winter with the car. proper quattro is amazing, much better than the haldex system in my old R32.

mods have been coming kinda slowly, but I've done a few things.

installed a new headunit: Pioneer 4000 Nex with Apple Car Play. I had it installed ad mobile solutions, they did an amazing job, kept the steering controls, installed a bypass so that my passengers can watch a movie on long drives. has hdmi, back up cam, multiple usb, dvd bluetooth, ect. tons of features. Love it.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7625/16891024060_0463f823a6_b.jpg

I installed my apr instake a long time ago, don't think i have posted a pic. Will be better once i get a tune, all it really does right now is give me the childish turbo noises. woosh woosh....

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8721/16891111950_4d0a377022_o.jpg

Next i picked up summer wheels. this was a little frustrating as i discovered after i picked them up that one had a crack in it. but joe @ Kwiksilver wheel repair did a good job on fixing it up, and had it back to me pretty quick. Club Brotiform for the win.

specs are a wide 19x10 all round et35. No spacers used.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7604/16660961348_3a629aba01_b.jpg

During the time of my wheel getting fixed, i peeled the vinyl off. it was getting pretty mucky from winter. I also gave the car a nice little polish to clean it up from the vinyl. Its pretty weird having a black car again. I also was able to pick up a rare set of relak side skirts. I've always hated how high the bumpers/sides are on the b7.

I have also painted my boring black mirror caps silver/aluminum because i don't feel like forking out 900$ for s4/rs4 caps.

So here is where the car sits right now, I'm loving the look, but i am picking up more vinyl and will be going for round two. stay tuned...... ill see you all at driven in the eurodrivers booth.

Nice wheels, wonder how those would look on my AR.

Also, looks WAY better black. I saw you a few times on crowchild, easy to spot with the vinyl.

thanks, which allroad do you have? c6 or b8? either would look great imo.

i like the look of the black, but i just loved the vinyl. As creepy as it sounds.... i love putting smiles on younger kids faces. I was one of the kids who was fascinated by stand out cars. the vinyl will be back soon.

C5 2.7T 6-Speed. Fully kermit'd.

Those 2.0T's make a lot of power from just a chip, especially on 100oct.

Excellent wheel choice. I much prefer the vinyl over the black. Don't fuck up my happiness on the new vinyl job. :whipped:

Saw your car at Driven, and I was thinking to myself, I swear he removed the vinyl. I guess I missed the update on the new vinyl haha.

Looked great!
